ANNUAL LOTUS AND WATER LILY FESTIVAL AT KENILWORTH AQUATIC GARDENS

The lotus flowers will be in full bloom at the Kenilworth Aquatic Gardens in NE DC. The 2025 annual festival will be held in July - Date TBD. There will be a schedule of the day's cultural activities. Bring a lawn chair and a picnic lunch if you plan to stay for the festivities. Check out upcoming details here: [Lotus and Water Lily Festival - Kenilworth Park & Aquatic Gardens (U.S. National Park Service) (nps.gov)](https://www.nps.gov/keaq/planyourvisit/lotus-and-water-lily-festival.htm)

Hours are 8AM to 4PM. The event is free; open to the public and your furry friends. There is plenty of free parking on the street as well as the park's lot; however, plan to get there early as this is a well-attended event. The blooms will probably last for another week so catch them before they are all gone for the year.

Meet in front of the Visitor's Center at 10AM or browse around on your own.
